Camilla Parker Bowles can become queen when Charles becomes king, a British government official said Monday.

When the couple revealed that they intended to marry on April 8, the announcement said Parker Bowles will use the title Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cornwall, since one of Charles's titles is the Duke of Cornwall.

She would not take the title of Queen Camilla when Charles becomes king; instead, she will be referred to as the Princess Consort.
